wtf is with the obsession with Alban Berg...sure Wozzeck is fantastic but for some reason I highly doubt anybody here really has a true appreciation of serialism and 12 tone music. saying you listen to Alban Berg just sounds like name dropping.

"oooh, he likes Berg..he's high brow". ...seems really contrived.

maybe youre just too busy swimming in mediocre black metal? whos to say.

 

[illidurit]

maybe berg is good and the drip is a fag

 

[NFU]

maybe berg is good and the drip is a fag

thats probably at LEAST a passing grade thesis statement.

 

[illidurit]

I copied NFUs list of categories with the intention of filling my own preferences out, but there were only like 6 discrepancies

 

[Id]

mtp some fucking berg ffs

 

[illidurit]

narrot probably has more than I do, ask him next time he's online

 

[NFU]

Narrot is probably the "go to" guy for classical stuff. I have quite a bit of classical vinyl, but some of it i havent even bothered to listen to yet.

or maybe there are ppl just liking his music :Smug:
i prefer his non-opera stuff tho and my fave piece of him isnt even 12-tone-musek ...


and yea, i will mtp some berg later today

etc...

^ apparently "black metal" is different than "epic black metal" and "epic black/folk metal". and didnt we also miss "epic folk metal"?
